we begin with this, president obama has wanted tax increases all along, but the republicans resisted, but now mr. obama is helping to pay for his new jobs plan and come monday morning your going to hear all about it when he announces details of the so-called buffett role, named after warren buffett. a tax on millionaires to make sure they don't pay a smaller percentage than the nation's middle class and as candy crawly reports there's already an uproar in washington. >> reporter: the president's plan to pay for his jobs program includes the idea of a millionaire minimum tax rate. at least as high as middle class rates. the administration calls it the buffett rule, for billionaire investor warren buffett. >> i have a lower tax rate, counting payroll taxes, than anybody in my office. >> reporter: it's catchy moniker, although republicans

call it something else entire. >> i when you pick one area of the economy and say we're going to tax those people, it's class warfare. >> class warfare will simply divide this country more, divide people and it doesn't grow the economy. >> reporter: opposition to tax rates for the wealthy on a par with middle class rates is tricky politics. it sounds sane and only fair, certainly when put in the hands of master politician. >> if you look at the group that has had the biggest income increases and the benefit of most of the tax cuts of the previous eight years before the obama administration took office, those of us in that income group we're in the best position to make a contribution to changing the debt structure of the country. >> reporter: republicans say they're all for tax fairness, but as part of a major overhaul of the tax system that closes loopholes and lowers rates for everyone. they have a friend in democratic

budget tier alice rivlin. >> i'm find fond of warren buffett. the way to fix the tax code is to fix the tax code. >> reporter: the gop says there are plenty of places that the rich can pony up, particularly when it comes to the pet project like medicare reform. >> with regard to the tax rate, if he's feeling guilty about it i think he should send in a check. but we don't want to stagnate this economy by raising taxes. >> reporter: given the republican house speaker's consistent opposition to tax hike, the buffett rule looks like a no go, republicans suspect that's what the president had in mind. >> i wonder if john boehner knows what it sounds like when he continues to say the position of the republican party in america is you can't impose one more penny on the wealthiest people. i wonder if he understands how that sounds in ohio to working

familying who are struggling paycheck to paycheck. >> reporter: what looks doa on capitol hill may have many lives on the campaign trail. what's behind the president's proposal to tax millionaires and will it fly on capitol hill? those are some of the questions i'll ask the cnn contributors. the peace of a sunday service shattered, a gunman opens fire, hitting both the pass or the and associate pastor. 57-year-old jeremiah fogle is in custody and he was held there until the officers arrived. he is also accused of killing his wife at the nearby home before going to the church. affiliate bay news 9 said the pastor's gunshot wound is not considered life threatening. a fishing boat's engine exploded causing a spectacular

witnesses now. dominique strauss-kahn said the on thing he's guilty of is moral weakness. he broke his silence to a french television station saying the relationship with the new york thole maid was a mistake, error, but he denies any sexual assault took place. >> what happened? what happened was neither violence nor constraint included in this. nor aggression. nor any act, any illicit act. that is what the prosecutor has said. what happened was not only an inappropriate relationship, more than that an error, a mistake. a mistake concerning my wife, my children, my friends, but also a

mistake, the french people had placed their hope for change in me. >> strauss-kahn doesn't intend to negotiate any kind of settlement with his accuser who has now filed a civil lawsuit against him. earlier i spoke with the accuser's attorney. >> we look forward to asking him the questions and hearing the answers he didn't give in thor is view today. we were waiting for an explanation on what happened on the day in question, may 14. we didn't hear anything about it. so mr. strauss-kahn is going to come to our office and we look forward to hearing his answers under oath. >> strauss-kahn denies any sexual assault took place, saying he only had a moral weakness. what's your reaction to that? >> well, i think that's just the tip of the iceberg, a moral weakness. he sexually assaulted ms. diala.

she has been consistent in her story from day one, and the fact is that he was interviewed by someone who is a friend of his wife, she was interviewed by a team of investigative reporters and a reputable journalist. and she answered all the questions that were put to her, about the day in question. mr. strauss-kahn didn't answer any questions about what happened. >> he said there was neither material proof that an assault took place in the hotel room. is he right and how do you plan to win a civil case against him? >> well, that's just wrong. the medical records themselves show that she had bruising to her vaginal area. it shows she had a rip to her shoulder. her stockings were ripped. she immediately cried out to a number of witnesses who will corroborate the story she has been giving from day one. and her story is -- as the american people and the world

saw is extremely credible. we have still not heard what mr. strauss-kahn said what happened in the room. what did he do in the nine minutes that this occurred? we had hoped this would happen today, but it didn't. >> well the judge has given strauss-kahn's attorneys until september 26 to respond to dialo's complaint. a firefight in libya and you're right in the middle of it with the cnn crew. later, a family is tortured and murdered and already one of the accusers is sentenced to death. when you pursue industry-leading safety, you don't just engineer breakthroughs in simulation technology, you engineer amazing.

troy davis knows the exact moment he's supposed to die and it's getting closer by the minute now unless a georgia state parole board takes action. he is scheduled to be put to death on wednesday for the 1989 fatal shooting of savannah officer mark mcphail. the execution has been postponed three times to reconsider evidence. well, davis maintains his innocence and seven of nine witnesses in his case later

recanted their testimony. now, well, he's a focus of a large-scale international campaign to save his life. so david mattingly is following this story. he's going to be at the clemency hearing tomorrow. tell us about the people who will be deciding davis' fate. >> the state of georgia puts all of the authority in clemency cases with this five-member board. and these five people literally have the power of life and death in this case. as they do in all death row cases. they'll be looking at the evidence that's been piled up then case, but this isn't the first time that it's been across this board. they denied him clemency once before in 2008. they also delayed his execution once before there's very little new that's coming before them. and people are wondering now there are three new members on this board that were not part of that board in 2008. people are wondering now will all this ground swell of public support somehow have an effect on this board?

well, will these three member be the three votes they need that maybe he gets clemency and gets off of death row? >> am i correct, every person, conservative, was put there, appointed by conservative governors, is that right? >> yeah, a lot of attention has been focused on the three new members. but they come from law enforcement backgrounds or justice backgrounds. one is the former head of the state corrections department. one is the former head of the juvenile justice department. one is a state legislator who was very close to the department of corrections and all the legislation that affected them. >> this one is albert murray as well. you said appointed by a republican governor sonny purdue as well. who's the next person? so there you go. so we'll keep going. this one, same thing. you get the picture. the question is in the past when they have had to deal with

these -- with similar situations, how -- what has been the outcome? >> in more than the last 30 years, they have looked at 63 death row cases. and that's their job. they look at this to decide if the person should go on with their execution. they have looked at 63 of these executions -- of these people scheduled to be executed and 54 cases they have denied clemency, including one already for troy davis. but something important to look at here. of all the cases they have denied clemency in, every team they have gone back to look at it again they have not changed their mind. this is an extraordinary case and if they go back on that previous decision, one more extraordinary thing about it. >> all right, david mattingly, thank you very much. david will be there tomorrow on monday. thank you very much. make sure you stay tuned for that. president obama set to unveil a plan to raise taxes on the very wealthy and no surprise, republicans aren't happy about it. can the president get what he wants this time from a defiant opposition? to where you need to be.

all right, it is being called the buffett rule, it's to make sure the wealthy pay the same percentage in taxes as the middle class. as you can imagine it's stirring debate. it won't be unveiled until monday morning when president obama reveals the debt reduction plan. let's bring in a political anchor for new york one up. all right, the debate is stirring in washington. everyone is worked up about this millionaires tax. but what are the odds that it ever becomes law? >> i think the odds are pretty good that it will be debated. the reality is as the legislative matter, the president knows that the opposition, the republicans in congress have said that they're not going to even consider it. so it will be -- it will be tough to see how we even get it passed if the house won't introduce it or won't seriously debate. on the other hand, the president has a great issue now to take out on the campaign trail and to ask for people to write in and

to call their members of congress and so forth and the polls suggest that between 65% and 85% of the public wants to see a closing of tax loopholes and more taxes on the very wealthy. so he's going to side with the public whether or not that gets the public to put enough pressure on congress for them to act remains to be seen. >> this -- this sounds like the deficit -- the debt ceiling talk all over again, that debate all over again. >> this is actually a little bit harder for the president to tell you the truth, because everybody understands income. the deficit is a real abstraction. but everybody -- not only do people understand income and taxes in the back of almost everyone's head, i don't know about you, but i plan to be one of the wealthiest americans some day and there's this kind of identification with the very wealthy because most people think if they buy the right lotto ticket or work a lot harder, they'll be there too. so i think the president is going to find it hard to take

that soft poll number where most people say yeah, we ought to tax the rich more and turn it into a heart felt opposition to letting the wealthy go on paying the rate that they pay. >> i think everyone mould like to make more than a million dollars a year, but the odds of th that happening is the same odds of winning the lottery. >> yet they'll be lined up, when you're buying some gum tomorrow, everyone will be lined up buying lotto tickets, right? >> yes. is there some political strategy at work here that most of us may not be aware of? >> well, absolutely. look, the reality is he's playing deficit politics, and that plays very, very well with independents. they tend to be fiscally conservative. while we are talking about income, the rest of the package includes some big-ticket items. it includes $1 trillion he thinks can save off the deficit and $1 trillion from winding down the conflict in afghanistan

and iraq. that's going to find a lot of support from the leftist base and to the independents as well. is he playing politics? absolutely he is. >> absolutely. and look for more politics tomorrow after he announces it. errol lewis. thank you very much. coming up here on cnn a murder trial begins for the second person in the case that horrified the nation, the home invasion in connecticut.

had a lot of privileges, you know? they were given a sensitive geopolitical sense traveling a lot. they have all entered show business, they're actors and singers and filmmakers and so i don't know. have i been a perfect father? no, not at all. but i would say to them, for some reason you chose me as your father. they'd look at me. >> what does that mean? i read that in your memoirs. >> well, i think if you say that, you know, if you blame your parents or whatever, then you're a victim. i think for some -- there's something to every situation, you're put in a situation to learn. i was put in my particular family situation to learn. so i'm grateful for it. so i think you have to be grateful for whatever situation you find yourself in. and learn to figure it out. >> sting is going to hit the

city. they're alerting people to rude behavior and urging them to mind their manners. pull up your pants, no one wants to see your underwear says one. others read, clean up after your horse and pay attention while walking. and get this, the signs aren't official, but they look like the real thing. they're the work of graphic artists jason chelowitz has dubbed himself the etiquette authority. you've been posting signs in manhatt manhattan, telling people not to flick their cigarette butts and pull up their saggy pants. what prompted you to do this psa campaign on etiquette? >> well, it's spun off the project they did last summer, the subway etiquette posters that got such a good, positive response. so i did a project like it about cleaning up after your dog and supplying the public with disposable bags for them to use. there were only three of those, but they were massive, hand-painted posters, they got a

huge response. in between i was working on other projects but i thought it was time for another public service announcement. this seemed like the natural progression. >> what have people been saying to you or what's been the response, first of all, to this etiquette campaign? >> the response is great. people love it. i mean, i feel like i'm saying things that a lot of people are already thinking. so because of that, the response is really positive. >> i have told people to pull their pants up before and they basically told me to mind my own business. so have you gotten that response from anybody? >> yeah, a little bit. not to my face, but in comment sections of websites i have seen that. that's true. look, i'm just making fun of it really. when i was a teenager, i look at pictures of myself and some of the things i wore it was ridiculous. it's not really that serious. i know in some cities they have launched real campaigns with fines and schools banning kids from wearing it. i think people should wear whatever makes them happy.

it's my right also to make fun of them too. when they are older, they're going to think showing my underwear and the entire rear end to the world when i was walking down the street, they'll move on, it is just the style. it is funny to me and a lot of other people. but people should wear whatever they want and i really could care less. it's kind of poking fun at you if you dress like that. that's my right as well. >> you think it's silly, but they can wear whatever they want. >> of course. i'm nobody to tell people what to do. >> do you think there will be a permanent impact? >> we'll see. the only impact that i'm seeing will be lasting is just that people are smiling, sometimes laughing. and enjoying them overall. if that's what i leave behind with this project, that's good enough for me. >> have you heard any official word from anybody in the city or anybody in government about the campaign? >> no. lucky for me, i think they have bigger fish to fry. there's only 80 of these signs

up around. they're all up. so, you know, they'd be lucky if they even saw one. i have to kind of tell you where to find it. it's not enough to cause a problem. if there would be thousands they'd be come argue me. i have noticed a few have gotten stolen. which is fine. i think people should take one. if you want one, take it. >> all right. he got a huge response from the public all over the world. people are still contacting him and he made enough money to pay for the on going metropolitan etiquette campaign. we have this just in to cnn. affiliates say two people have been stabbed on an air force base outside of phoenix. luke air force base in glendale. it's not clear if they're civilians or members of the military. two people have been stabbed on the property of luke air force base in arizona.

and nfl fans now have to endure a little more security on the way into stadiums across the country. guards are now doing full body patdowns instead of the old way from the waist up. nfl says the upgrades, while they were played before an incident last week when a fan allegedly used an illegal taser during a fight at a jets/cowboys game. we'll have much, much more on that stabbing at that air force base. again, we're hearing that the two people were stabbed on an air force base and we'll update you here on cnn. make sure you tune in to "american morning" at 6:00 a.m. thank you so much for watching. see you back here next weekend. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
